PONY Releases New Single ‘Peach’

PONY, the Toronto project led by Sam Bielanski, has released a new single called ‘Peach’. Check it out below.

Talking about the track, Bielanski said in a statement:

I think Peach is probably the most vulnerable song I have ever written,” Bielanski said After all, what’s more vulnerable than a Peach?

Some years ago I found myself in a relationship with someone who initially treated me like I was so special. But little by little the love seemed more and more conditional. With every bit they tried to control what I wore, who I talked to, and what I did – I lost a part of myself. It took me years to realize I was completely gone and I mistook abuse and manipulation for love. Peach is about realizing that someone who wants to have control over you is not someone who loves you.

PONY’s debut album, TV Baby, arrived last year. The band recently dropped the single ‘Did It Again’ and wrapped a tour with Fucked Up. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with PONY.

Field Medic Shares New Single ‘i think about you all the time’

Field Medic, the project of LA-based musician Kevin Patrick Sullivan, has released a new single titled ‘i think about you all the time’. It’s the second offering from his upcoming album grow your hair long if you’re wanting to see something that you can change, following lead cut ‘i had a dream that you died’. Check it out below.

“‘i think about you all the time’ is a love song to alcohol & younger days,” Sullivan explained in a press release. “It’s a sort of sequel to my song ‘i will not mourn who i was that has gone away’. I was struggling in my sobriety with some difficult life situations & wished I had the option of pressing the off switch that binge drinking has afforded me in the past. I had just written a song called ‘I hate being sober’, which was a pretty negative way to frame the subject, so I set out to make a song that spoke of my longing in a way that sounded light & sweet. I wanted it to sound like a love song so it could speak to anyone who’s missing anything, be it a person or in my case; a substance.”

Field Medic’s new LP comes out October 14 via Run For Cover Records. ”Music is definitely a vessel for some form of healing,” Sullivan said in an earlier statement. “Sometimes the best way to get out of your own head is to just get to work. Making this album helped me find my happiness again.”

Beth Orton Releases New Song ‘Friday Night’

Beth Orton has released ‘Friday Night’, the third preview of her upcoming seventh LP Weather Alive. It comes with a self-directed video shot in Hydra, Greece. Watch and listen below.

Orton had this to say about ‘Friday Night’ in a statement:

Friday Night is someone reflecting on, and trying to decide, what to give up or what to surrender to. Passion or ambivalence? Whether to “bleed or rust in the rain.”

Most of us are struggling to make sense of where to put the love we have for those that are lost to us, let alone the ones that remain. Sometimes there is no right answer except to find the wisdom in the spaces between the endings and beginnings, in the remembrance of things past or in search of lost time, there are always re-percussions to the choices we make. We are listening to the internal dialogue of someone living it out, what is futile and what is worth fighting for, and trying to do as little damage along the way. Friday night being the night that makes the week more bearable, there is hope.

Coming to realise what is real and what is out of reach can be unbelievably painful, waking up to the love that remains can be the greatest gift and the most wonderful surprise. Even in absence there is presence, there is no escape but to look for where the love is still alive within us.

Weather Alive is due for release on September 23 via Partisan Records. So far, Orton has previewed it with the single ‘Forever Young’ and the title track.

Carla dal Forno Announces New Album ‘Come Around’, Shares Video for New Song

Today’s announcement comes with the release of the record’s title track, alongside a video edited by Ludovic Sauvage. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

“’Come Around’ was inspired by a guy I used to play in a band with. I really admired the way he played guitar,” dal Forno explained in a statement. “He had this laid back strum that was effortless and cool. I was mucking around at home one day trying to imitate the way he played and I wrote ‘Come Around.’” Further adding: ”I wrote the song during a carefree springtime and I loved working on it while recording this album. There’s a lightness and openness to it, which I feel quite liberated by. It reminds me of a life I once had with very few responsibilities.”

Carla Dal Forno’s last album was 2019’s Look Up Sharp.

Nick Hakim Announces New Album ‘COMETA’, Unveils Video for New Song ‘Happen’

Nick Hakim has announced a new album called COMETA. The follow-up to 2020’s WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD is slated for release on October 21 via ATO Records. Lead single ‘Happen’, which features contributions from Alex G on piano and Abe Rounds on drums, arrives today with an accompanying video directed by Johan Carlsson and shot at Roy Andersson’s Studio 24 in Sweden. Check it out below, and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“The idea for the video is very simple, we see people on a subway, all busy with their different lives, some are in great spirits and some in deep thoughts maybe because of trouble at work or in their personal life,” Carlsson explained in a statement. “Sometimes when you’re in a public space you’re not interested in your fellow human beings at all and sometimes looking at them is so interesting that you can’t stop.”

“I hope this video can be an example of when people are interesting to look at, in a way that helps you reflect on your own life,” he continued. “I think Nick’s music is fantastic and has a cinematic and visual quality I hope comes through in the video.”

COMETA includes collaborations with DJ Dahi, Helado Negro, and Arto Lindsay. Commenting on the themes of the album, Hakim said: “The key is to find that extremity of love for yourself. It’s about growing into someone you want to be; it’s about finding pure love within yourself when the world around us seems to be crumbling.” He added, “I think it’s nice to have love in your life and to have people that are sharing and wanting that. It’s my interpretation of a really romantic way to express love in my own way.”

Poster Paints (Carla J Easton and Simon Liddell) Share New Song ‘Circus Moving On’

Poster Paints, the new project of Carla J Easton and Frightened Rabbit’s Simon Liddell, have shared a new song, ‘Circus Moving On’. Following previous singles ‘Falling Hard’ and ‘Never Saw It Coming’, the song is lifted from their forthcoming self-titled debut album, which is out on October 14 via Ernest Jenning Record Co./Olive Grove Records. Give it a listen below.

Vocalist Carla J Easton said of ‘Circus Moving On’ in a statement:

Walking the fine line between regret and not caring about choices made. One of those songs. You meet someone and it’s doomed to fail but you stretch it out as far as it will go. Needing the darkness in order to shine. The criticism. Being drawn to people that aren’t good for you and unable to leave or let go. The fleeting moments where everything seems fine and happy – the excitement and elation of something beginning and trying to hang and hold on to that feeling. Sonically – this is our orchestral blowout on the album.

We worked remotely with Andrew Jin Chung based in Canada for the beautiful string arrangements that really made the final recording soar. The initial idea was built around Mellotron sounds after a discussion about how much we both loved the song ‘All My Happiness Is Gone’ by Purple Mountains. Subconsciously that was perhaps a jumping off point for the lyrics and combining the classic sad/happy juxtaposition between words and sound. It’s not the Poster Paints sound you might be expecting but it’s one of our favourites on the album and is a joy to play live.

Jake Whiskin Announces Debut Album, Collaborates With Lizzie Reid on New Song

Leeds singer-songwriter Jake Whiskin has announced his self-titled debut album, which will arrive via Dance to the Radio on November 4. The lead single, ‘Drive You Home’, is a collaboration with Glaswegian songwriter Lizzie Reid. Check it out below.

“’Drive You Home’ is a song about a relationship that’s on its last legs and plays out over a firework display whilst you internalise how much you’ve grown apart over the years,” Whiskin explained in a press statement. “I pretty much wrote the whole song around the lyric ‘I will drive you out your mind and then I’ll drive you home’. It always felt like a duet to me so we got Lizzie Reid on board who is obviously amazing and she just took it to a whole new place.”

Mini Trees Covers Radiohead’s ‘Let Down’

Mini Trees, the project of Lexi Vega, has shared a cover of Radiohead’s OK Computer classic ‘Let Down’ (via Run For Cover). Check it out below.

“I recorded this cover of ‘Let Down’ with my friend and bandmate Andrew Goldring the day after we got back from 3 weeks of winter touring,” Vega explained in a press release. “Our van had just broken down on the way home and we were exhausted but this song had been in constant rotation on tour, and we knew we wanted to record a cover of it on the one extra day I had in town.

She continued: “‘Let Down’ was always a song that really captivated me, from the unexpected moment the drums come into the massive build into the final chorus and all of the beautiful melodies that weave throughout. I recently read somewhere that this year is the 25th anniversary of OK Computer, so while the timing of this cover was a complete coincidence, it feels like a good way to celebrate the first Radiohead album I fell in love with.”

Mini Trees’ debut album, Always in Motion, arrived last year.

Meat Wave Announce New Album ‘Malign Hex’, Share Video for New Single

Chicago punks Meat Wave have announced their next album, Malign Hex, with a video for the new single ‘What Would You Like Me To Do’. The follow-up to 2017’s The Incessant lands on October 14 via Big Scary Monsters. Check out the song’s visual, directed by vocalist/guitarist Chris Sutter, below, along with the album artwork and tracklist.

“‘What Would You Like Me To Do is the anti-ode to the baby boomer man,” Stutter explained in a statement. “How can, as a society, we navigate the entitlement? The idea for the video started as an instructional dance routine by Ryan. It quickly morphed into something more freaky and free. The video is years in the making. Directed by myself. We usually try to avoid being in the video. But this time was different. We had a lot of fun doing it.”

Stutter described Malign Hex as “a culmination of what we’ve been doing for 11 years. We’ve been working towards this.” Bassist Joe Gac added: “Our sound in the beginning was consistently very driving. Now, that characteristic is merely a tool we can reach for. I don’t think it completely defines what we’re doing.”

“We recorded [Malign Hex] the same way we always have— live in a room together,” drummer Ryan Wizniak said. “But we allowed ourselves to embellish more and take more chances with extra instrumentation.”
